I am not sure if this is in the right place or not..
My 12 year old son was at the neighbors house playing a game of hockey. He went to take a slap shot and got the neighbor boy in the lip. his tooth was chipped and he got a pretty fat lap but no stitches.. he did have to have a root canal and a cap pput on. She said that when he is older he will have to have a crown. the mom seen it happen and said that it was an accident and not to worry about it, accidents happen, said she did not blame my son it was not his fault.
This happened 3 months ago. well yesterday she came up to my husband who was outside doing yard work. and said that she would like to know where we think our responsabilities lie, and what we are going to pay for so she knows if she needs to take legal action or not.
we do not feel that we are liable, it happened at her house and it was just an accident. If the roles were reversed we would not want anything from them.
We would have been willing to pay for atleast half of his bills but we are scared that the insurance company would come back and sue for what they already paid for. And also wouldnt her home owners cover it?
WE are just so confused and dont know what to say to her. we honestly can not afford to pay for anything, we have 5 children of our own 3 of which have health issues.
Oh and her son plays Ice hockey for the school team and my son just plays for fun. She knows the risk as do I.
This happened in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania
any advice is greatly appreciated! thank you!
